Parents Page

At Grove in Ames, we want to help support their productivity by giving them a fully equipped study area with free printing. We want to keep them healthy with a 24/7 fitness center. Grove in Ames meets every need that your student will have while in college so they can achieve what they came here for in an enjoyable atmosphere.

Individual Leases

Individual leasing means peace of mind for you. Your financial responsibility is only for your student’s space unlike many apartments or rental houses where a joint lease is signed. If a roommate transfers to another school or moves out of Grove Ames for any reason, you do not have to worry about having to cover their portion of rent. This is just another reason why Grove Ames is your student’s best housing option!

On-site Professional Staff

Our maintenance staff will respond to your student’s maintenance issues quickly and professionally. Grove Ames offers 24-hour emergency maintenance as well so that your student’s comfort is not affected.

Affordable Floor Plans

Grove in Ames has spacious two and three bedroom floor plan options so they will easily be able to find one to suit their needs. Each bedroom has their own private bedroom and bathroom.

Fully Furnished

Grove in Ames is a fully-furnished community, saving you money! Each student will have a full-sized bed with frame, dresser, desk/chair and side table. The living area comes with a couch, sofa chair, ottoman, side table, kitchen table and dining chairs. The kitchen comes fully equipped with a refrigerator/freezer with icemaker, dishwasher, microwave and washer & dryer in the unit.

Roommate Matching

If your student does not have a roommate in mind, we can find them one! Each roommate will fill out a Roommate Matching form so that we know what they are looking for in a roommate. During the summer, we spend weeks looking at these preferences and matching them up with the best person we can find!

Resident Events to Keep Students Involved

While the main focus of your student’s college career will be about graduating and getting a fulfilling job, they also need to have fun along the way. Grove in Ames, your student will be able to create life-long relationships and connections that will make them even more successful. Our great staff plans monthly resident events to get them involved. These events range from pizza parties to karaoke nights, from resume building classes to gaming tournaments. We will also keep our residents connected to events going on at Iowa State University, as well as events happening around town so they don’t miss anything! We want your student to succeed, and that’s why we thought of them while designing Grove in Ames as a Living-Learning environment!

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to have an individual lease?

Individual leasing means that each person is only responsible for their portion of the common areas and their bedroom. If your roommate ends up not coming back for the spring semester, you’re not responsible for their payment.

Yes, we offer a roommate matching system. If you don’t have anyone in mind that you would like to live with, let us match you up with someone! There is a Roommate Matching Sheet that you will fill out to let us know more about what you’re looking for in a roommate. Then, we spend weeks in the summer figuring out the best match for you based on that information.

When is my rent due?

You have three installment payment options to pay the entire amount due under the lease – one installment, two installments, or twelve installments. If you choose to pay a single installment for the entire amount, that single installment is due August 1. If you choose to pay in two semester installments, those installments are due August 1 and January 1. If you choose to pay in twelve installments, the first installment is due on August 1 and the remaining eleven installments are due on the 1st of the next eleven months. Please note that these are all installment payment options and not monthly rent.

How do I pay my rent?

We accept payment via check, money order, or through the online system.

Do you allow pets?
